I had gone to 241 four years ago and loved it. Then, last year, I bought a pair of glasses from another optician in Harvard Square, as I had had an eye exam performed there, and my insurance gave a "discount" on frames. Big mistake. It turns out, even with the 40% insurance discount, you generally end up paying more for a single pair of glasses and lenses than you would at 241 (I hadn't price shopped as I was pressed for time). Plus, you wait a week to pick them up. I needed a new set of glasses this year, and went back to 241. The glasses were of fine quality, fairly priced (better than the 40% discount at the other shop), and were made and picked up within 3 hours. INCREDIBLE.

Very kind shop, fixed my glasses (they were missing a screw) without charging even though I bought my glasses elsewhere

I love this shop: the owners, their selection, the service their prices!

A very fun experience. He helped me find an inexpensive but really cute and up-to-date pair of glasses and the cost was great. He was very professional and well informed, and I felt completely personally attended to. He handled it all within an hour and I was able to wear my glasses home again. I would always come back to 2 for 1 Optical.

Changed my lenses for half of the price they were charging me in the other places in Cambridge. Owner is friendly and takes just 1h to change the lenses. Recommended!

This was one of the first among the current eyeglasses shops in Harvard Square, and still the best. They have the best selection of frames, at the best prices— you actually get two for the price of one, which is very nice to have if you want to keep a spare or some sunglasses on hand. No in-house optometrist to do the refraction, but they will work with whatever you bring them and make sure it gets done right. Michael can fill most orders in an hour, depending on whether he has the frames and lenses in stock. He also makes adjustments and corrections very quickly on demand. Very satisfied customer.

This place is AWESOME! I lost my old glasses today. They made me a new pair in about half an hour! Incredible service!

I've been getting custom glasses made here for almost 10 years. In that time, I must have bought at least 12 different pairs, and have been thrilled with each and every one.
